How well would this bow work for a 6yr old girl? Getting a bow for my niece

It's a little hard for my 6 year old to pull back compared to say a bit more expensive compound bow. But, it is well made and functional. Just depends on the strength of the girl.

This bow is more than a toy. My daughters are now 10 and 12. They really like the bow. They aren't strong enough to draw the bow fully back. This does not stop them from using it. For young girls, this is a great bow, it is sturdy, and not cheaply made.

I got this bow for my daughter when she was twelve she is about your height also once the tension line was adjusted she could shoot it a lot easier it was a good size even now after a year and a half the size still suits her. Hope this helps . :)

Yes, it small enough and the draw weight isn't alot for her. It's a great begginers bow.

These little bows are fantastic for introduction. He'll be able to use it easily and develop his technique. As for distance, it's slow and "lobs" the arrows. You can make fairly accurate shots out to about 15yds with this but not much further than that. This one isn't adjustable, so it's more for teaching a youth the fundamentals of bow shooting. If you want one that they are going to be able to learn and use for competition or hunts, I'd recommend a Diamond Youth Atomic Bow, got one for my 10 year old daughter and she's loved it for the last 3 years. The draw weight and length are adjustable, so the bow grows with them. I bought this Bear Scout for my 5 year old and he's ready for the Diamond now. These little bows are fantastic for introduction.

You should be fine. I use this bow with my daughter, it is just about 1.5 inches short on draw length for me, but should be appropriate for your son

I think this would be excellent for a kid that age because it has such a wide draw and poundage range. It adjusts from a 13 to 30 inch draw and from 5 to 70 pounds so it can even grow with them as they get older. I love my bow like this and recommend it for any age kid and ladies.

This bow has a 20lb draw back meaning it uses 20 lbs to pull it back too tough for a 6year old i would go for something smaller and rh/lh means both right handed people and left handed people can shoot this bow im not advanced so you may want to see a sport store for more info but from my understanding some bows are built only for rh or lh people.

Hi Laurie. From ages 10-15 for both boys and girls..... into the teen years it is more dependent on how long their draw length becomes due to growth (longer the arms=longer draw length). Notables: You need to add a nock and adjust sights for the shooter. For a small framed female adult, this could be a good starter tartget bow as well. 2 thumbs up from 2JBs.

I got my daughter the same bow (except pink) and she is 8. The size a weight are great but the draw length is almost to short for her. The bow itself was smaller than what I thought it would be, for now it works great for her but in a year I think she will need something bigger.

It is fine for a 6 year old, but she might get board of it after a while of using it. I think she would love it.

No My 3.5 Year Old Still Enjoys It And Even Shoots Real Field Tip ArrowsWith It When We Are Target Practicing With It. My Son Is Definately Capeable Of Shooting A More Powerful Bow But This One Meets He Needs. The Bow Itself Has Been Durable The Arrows Howeve Are Not As DurableI Think They Should Be For The Price You Pay For Replacrments But Overall Its A Good Toy Like Bow And Has Been worth The PrIce We Paid.

It depends on the age but it is definitely a simple yet accurate bow and at a great price. The 55-70# is perfect for me but I know someone small or not as strong may struggle with the initial pull back.

No it's an amazing bow! Great for first time bow hunter/ Archery, kids or Pros. Draw weight goes down to 5 pounds which was great for my 6 year old and in a female and draw back 30 pounds of weight. My husband draws about 60 back. Once you test shoot it and get it sighted in where you want it then this bow will last you for years! :)

I would say it is for most ages. The bow is fairly light as is with no extras. The draw length goes from 13(child) to 30(adult) inches. For example I am an adult and my draw is about 28.5 inches. The pull weight goes from 5(child) to 70 lbs(adult) .

Definitely not. This is a real bow. A 4 year old would have a hard time making this work and if he or she did it would be hard for the little person to do so safely. I have a 15" thick foam target. This bow will put the target arrows it comes with nearly 2 inches in. My 7 year old is getting the hang of it but he wont be playing with it alone.

This bow is excellent for younger / smaller archers. It's more a case of "how big / strong" do you need to be. My daughter is 7 but is tiny for her age (most mistake her for a 5 year old - she's the smallest in her class) and I managed to get this set up at about 9lb draw and she pulls it back easy. At that draw I can use my little finger with no effort at all. If your kid is old / big enough to climb a tree and they could probably draw this bow. It's super adjustable. The other plus it it weighs next to nothing so my daughter has no problem holding it up for an extended aim.

We bought this for our 9 year old. He's an active boy and has a lot of upper body strength so it is easy for him to pull. I would think 10 would be the top for this bow because it has a light pull. It's great for a beginner and the site is fairly accurate. It's good for about a 25 yard range but not strong enough for more. Our nine-year has had it for about 5 months and is ready for a recurve.
